I’m less worried about the voters than the party that tries to appeal to its opposition rather than its own base. The Democrats deliberately threw the election again, imo.
It’s wild that they’re angry at people for not wanting to be complicit w a genocide rather than the people who forced us to choose between 2 genociders or even the genociders themselves.
Yeah. its like there were two choices and everything that has happened so far was predicted over and over and STILL people voted for a lotto win vs stopping the worst case. Given the international meddling, it makes the clueless gits more hapless.
Mexico is not a purely FPTP system; there are elements of ranked choice at the national level for their legislature. That makes it possible for 3rd parties to build a power base an support sufficient to win the presidency, which is a FPTP election.
Unless and until there is election reform to allow ranked-choice voting–which Repubs and Dems will both oppose, and which is illegal in some states–you can not realistically have 3rd parties winning. Unless and until 3rd parties build up their power by winning at state and local elections, they will not win national offices. Right now, 3rd parties have no foundation of power that they can use to win national elections.
The closest the US has come in the last one hundred years to a 3rd party presidential win was H. Ross Perot, over 30 years ago. Before that, you have to look at Theodore Roosevelt’s Bull Moose party, right around the time of the Great War.
Pointless statements from liberals who are too busy trying to find someone to blame to do anything useful about the galloping fascism in their midst.
Luckily the millions of protest nonvoters are taking action to stop this fucked situation.
Right?
Oh, no, wait, people like me are fucked because it was never anything other than posing for purity points with your online friends.
And if we have actual elections in 2028, none of you will learn a goddamn thing.
The blood of millions doesn’t matter a single goddamn whit to any of you so long as you can talk about LIBS BAD.

Seriously. Same old useless shit as always.
Fuck you people for opening the barn door. We’re sick of cleaning up your mess.

there were more than two choices and everyone predicted that repeatedly choosing the lesser evil will lead to this and here we are.
There are not more than two choices in a FPTP voting system.
there are third parties and independents and mexico & sheinbaum prove are viable once you stop drinking the 2-party kool aide
